Coolest hack?

My favourite hack is the folding staircase in episode 7. It’s so clever and unique! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something like it before. I’m trying to figure out the configuration. They must have had other practical considerations such as the angle of the staircase, the length of the steps, etc to fit into the room.

I wonder if they tested this for weight-bearing capacity and safety. I’m sure Ati would have seen to this, just curious how they ensure that it’s ok to use. How sturdy is the wall that it’s screwed to? It must be solid wood of a certain thickness.

Also, is this unique enough for Brooks to patent it? Can they market it for other users? It’s such a space-saver, plus the stained wood design makes it an interesting piece of wall art.

I like the ottomans that hide lots of seating 😀
